The Wee Hours

It's the wee hours of the morning,
And the rain is drizzling down.
It makes the air all fresh and clean,
As I walk the streets of town.

Although July is ending,
It's damp and cold tonight,
And there's no moon to light my way.
The streets are lit by street lights.

A nighthawk calls above me.
An owl greets me here.
A cat scampers across my path.
What else will next appear?

I still feel the quiet peace,
That comes from nightly walks.
Just me and God alone at last,
Accompanied by our dogs.

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 8/12/2023 5:29:00 AM My faithful loyal follower of God and Christ . I 6 yes guess It would be great and the best time to speak to God but in a town is that not dangerous, at night? I love it when i feel God has understood that i thank him all the time for mundane happenings. I feel good also for on a daily basis say sorry to him if i feel what i have said or done wrong in any way. He must be so busy that i am concerned he will think Im petty love and hugs Jennifer!

In that case walk your back yard garden. I do that too. It's my favorite place. God Bless, JB
